[Quix]

And, I have forgiven 100's of people who did not ask for it.

Christ on the Cross asked the Father to forgive those sentencing Him and killing Him because they knew not what they did. I assume The Father answered that prayer.

It's fairly clear that no forgiveness was asked for.

IF WE WANT TO BE FORGIVEN, IT IS IN OUR INTEREST TO FORGIVE.

I even practice forgiving Shrillery even though I am fairly convinced she's signed her eternal soul away to the devil virtually literally.

I can count on God to sort out the justice part.

[BibChr]

That isn't how I read the Bible. "If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him" (Luke 17:3). How many "if's" do you see there? I see two.

It is un-Biblical (and irrational) to "forgive" someone of something that he still embraces.

Read what Jesus says again. Compare and contrast: did Kerry know what he was doing? Does he now?
